札幌時鐘塔 / The Clock Tower

The Clock Tower (Sapporo City Chuo-ku) reopened on November 1st, after five months of exterior restoration work. The exterior was covered over this time, and the renewed appearance brought some surprise to Sapporo locals, because the color was slightly different from previously. The new color looks relatively green, although we have recognized the Tower as white for a long time. Actually, this happened in the last restoration work in 1998, with the color turning white in the following year. So, we will see the same in 2019. According to the restoration company, they used the same paint as in 1953, when the last big renovation was held.
